Anything is possible.
I'd be pretty disappointed in the design they chose if it was to be dragon type. But I' prefer it over any of the other suggested types. lol

Yeah, I doubt I'll be using Sylveon.
Eevee and it's evolutions don't appeal to me. Unless there were to be a really cool poison type one, I doubt I'll ever use any of them.

I really want to see the final evolutions to the starters. I am going to go with Fennekin no matter what, I have always used the fire starter, but I hope it looks cool and is preferably not fire/fighting, unless they can really pull it off well.

Pure types are the best way to go with starters.
Throwing in multitypes later on just makes people angry.

Unfortunately, everyone will complain no matter what the starters end up being. If they're pure types, then they will complain that they're too boring. If they give Fennekin psychic, it will be too much like Ninetales, but if they make it fire/fighting, everyone will have a hernea. No matter what, if Chespin gets a secondary type, it's either going to be considered "broken" or that the typing "sucks". Froakie is probably going to be judged by its looks no matter what is type ends up being.
I honestly ignore criticisms directed towards starters, because I always feel that nobody is making anyone use the starters, so why are you complaining?

Ninetales isn't psychic though. It would be more like Victini ~ Plus, I want Fennekin to be fire/psychic.
And yah. Everybody is gonna complain one way or another. Just like in real life. You can't make everybody happy.

Vulpix and Ninetails are allowed a TON of psychic moves by TM and Egg Moves. It's movepool is like.. fire/psychic/normal/grass.
I'm like a lot of you. I love, love, love Eevee but I haven't once used it except for a Flareon on Red. I'm worried Sylveon will be a disappointment like a lot of the other Eeveelutions.

I think the problem with those typing matches are that it might make the game too easy/hard.
Psychic especially, is weak to a lot of things. Bug, dark, ghost. And the only type Fennekin has any sort of advantage over is bug due to it's fire. But if Froakie were to be water/dark, Fennekin wouldn't have a single way to stand up to it outside of learning electric TM moves.
There are a lot of variables and what ifs, but the best way to go about it would be to keep them all pure types and give them unique movepools. Fennekin could still use psychic moves like Vulpix and Ninetails do without needing to be that type.
BUT.
I have a feeling they will be multitypes. Chespin, going from it's design, is probably going to end up grass/flying. Which still leaves speculation up for the other two.
I'm actually seeing a grass/ground typing for Chespin because of the whole chestnut thing he has going. We've had Torterra before, so we know that the typing is perfectly viable for a starter.
Froakie is the only one that I don't have a guess for.

Maybe. But the chestnut ground thing could go for it being steel type too. Since chestnuts are covered in those pins.
Which would be pretty cool, but that double weakness to fire would be lame.

I'm terrible at type prediction. xD
All I can do with the starters is pray I am not stuck with ANOTHER fire/fighting type.
Sometimes I daydream about a team made entirely of all my starters and then I remember I'd have three fire/fighting types. o_o
...Doesn't matter. Have entire team of fire starters. ♥.♥

I don't trust is too much. Maybe if the OP had put a link up where he heard this information, I would be more inclined to believe him. I'm not saying it wont happen, I'm just saying that I've heard "he leaked the Pokedex early" before and it has yet to turn out to be valid.
That being said, fairy is WAY more plausible than sound. I'd prefer it if they would fix up the types they had now instead of adding new ones, but I guess I'll just have to shrug it off.
